does Fish have worst forehand in top 50

It really is a piece of work. It's got pace, but no control, and he has no confidence in it. Eastern grip, maybe that explains the total lack of consistency and control. It's funny it's so bad, because his father is a tennis coach, and the rest of his game is fundamentally solid.

Are there any other players in the top 50 with a worse forehand? By the way, who else in the top 50 uses an eastern forehand?

There are plenty of bad backhands, which is no surprise, because it's a more unnatural shot.

Gasquet's forehand is weak, I agree, but not as bad as Fish. It doesn't break down as often. By the way, Korolev kept hitting to the Fish backhand . . . guy had no clue. Everybody in that stadium but him knew that Fish can't hit a forehand.

I was watching his match yest. against Korolev and his forehand seemed so slow...very low racquet head speed...and not penatrating at all. Seemed like a pusher to me and just wanted to ease the ball back into play while Korolev was trying to rip the ball. I wish Korolev would have won the match because he showed more effort and i hate pushers like that. They just want to get the ball back in the middle of the court and wait for you to make the error : /

Actually, nearly every tennis coach i know would say that the backhand is a more natural shot. It's a lot easier to turn your shoulder
